'No' to research on embryonic stem cells

A Letter to the Editor of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press:

As the mother of an insulin-dependent, Type I juvenile diabetic, and as a researcher of Nazi medical experimentations and exterminations carried out during the Holocaust, I am struck by the undeniable similarities between the false promises made by proponents of human embryonic stem cell research and the Nazi justification for the Holocaust. After the horrors of the Nazi atrocities were exposed, the cry of "never again!" was heard around the world.

Sadly, "never again!" has turned into "let's kill again!" with human embryonic stem cell research. If we are repulsed by the killings of the Jews during the Holocaust, we should be repulsed and oppose with all our being the gruesome exterminations of the most vulnerable people among us — human embryos.

Ethical adult stem cell research holds promise and has produced cures for diseases. We should all be saying "never again!" to unethical human embryonic stem cell research.
